Semua Bab REBIRTH AFTER DIVORCE: A deal with the crippled billionaire.: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Leilani looked up to check the time for the umpteenth time and then breathed out.It was quarter to seven, and Lorenzo was not back yet.Too much for, the ‘I will be back in a jiffy,’ that he had promised her. She rolled her eyes.He had texted her about a couple of hours back, telling her that he had just finished the meeting and was on his way already.After she had left the living room hours earlier due to what Agnes had said to her, she had not stepped a foot outside even when Mia rang the bell and FaceTimed her through the screen that was by the elevator side which connected to their quarters.The lady had urged her to come downstairs for lunch and she had declined vehemently.She wouldn’t do so without Lorenzo, she had thought.So, over the past hours, all she had done was lay on the bed, use her phone, and watch the television in the living room even though she was not much of a fan.Finally, a few minutes past seven, she jumped out of the couch as she detected the Elevator mak

A long silence ensued in the dining room after Lorenzo made his last sentence and Leilani could not help but shudder in the heavy atmosphere.These people might actually never settle their dispute.And with each passing day that she spent at this house, she realized that Jonathan’s house was better.But does she prefer it there? No!Never!“You always ruin everything!” Aaron snapped to no one in particular, picked up the handkerchief in front of him, and then walked away.Of course, no one needed to be told that he was referring to Lorenzo.Mia was right.This man had definitely had the worst upbringing amidst all these people.She turned to look at Lorenzo who swiped his tongue to his upper lips and then leaned forward to grab the glass cup of water in front of him.“Be looking forward to it,” Arthur broke the silence.Lorenzo raised his brow, asking what he meant by that.“Be looking forward to the day I will return home to announce to you that I have made an alliance deal with BENZ

“Fucking fuck!” Mia screamed.“You shameless whore!” Agnes moved over to Leilani and then pulled her hair.Realizing that it was only going to get serious, Mia rushed over to her mother and grabbed her wrist, “Mum, what are you doing?!” “Let go of her! You know Enzo is never gonna let this slide!”“I think he will be more than grateful that I am doing this in his stead,” she said, tightening her grip around the lady’s hair.Leilani moaned in pain while it felt like her hair was going to come off her scalp. First, she had not even had the chance to nurse her burning cheek before the woman pulled her hair too.She knew right from the beginning that drama was still going to unfold in this house. It was just that she didn’t expect it to be so soon.This was just her first week in this house. Why was she going through such maltreatment already?Although she was used to this kind of treatment from Jonathan’s mother and sister and not to lie, this was the least of the pain she had received

“What?!”Everyone, including Leilani herself, yelled.“As a matter of fact, tonight,” he added.“You must be nuts,” Aaron shook his head, believing his son had only said that to pull his legs or perhaps, scare him.“Only that I am not and I mean every word of mind. My wife and I are moving out and that is final!”“You would move out over a little misunderstanding? Because of this woman?!”“A little misunderstanding, you say? Your wife, Agnes, hit my wife! Yet, just like the adult and wisest that you are, you took her side!” He mocked.“Homewrecker? Do you seriously call her that? Do you seriously call another person that?! Those words should never have come out of your mouth, you know? Not only did you ruin this family, you ruined me too!”“I never did that!” Aaron retorted.“Really?” Lorenzo chuckled dryly.“It was not even up to a year after my mother died that you fucked another woman, got her pregnant, and brought her home. Of course, I was little, and your words not mine, I neede

Leilani picked on her fingers as she stepped out of the elevator and then walked fully into the room.The atmosphere was indeed heavy as she had heard Nicholas say.They all sat on the chairs like they were waiting to see if Lorenzo truly meant his word.“Sister-in-law!” Mia exclaimed, got out of the chair, and then rushed towards her.“Have you two changed your mind?!” She asked, in exhilaration.This lady was always happy. She had never been found otherwise.Leilani shook her head slowly and then pressed her lips together.“I couldn’t convince him.”“It’s alright. It is Enzo anyway. He would always do whatever he wants,” she chuckled, leaned closer to the woman, and then patted her shoulder.“Are you sad you are leaving? Don’t worry, I will always come to see you! The distance is just about thirty to forty minutes drive. That is so little, you know? I will come literally every day to come see you. And as the good Lord will have it, I don’t have a job,” she laughed, staring at the wo
